For those who were following my webcomics and were likely wondering what's been happening with them of late...
Well, I've just fallen a bit behind with my deadlines. That's all.
When I started out with them, I had first amassed a good size of backlog for each -- about two months worth. That allowed me a bit of breathing space, so I didn't have to rush to get them done each week. But over time, that backlog has slowly been eaten away, mostly because this is something that, as much as I love doing it, gets done in my spare time. And that spare time gets awfully tight. (I'm sure I'm not telling any of you other artists out there anything new.) The deadline kept creeping up closer and closer on me until, of late, I've been sweating to get them out on time. I've been literally finishing pages the day they're supposed to be 'published' online. It gets even worse with FELICIA, since I also have to color those pages, which takes a bit longer.
So, rather than beat myself silly trying to rush through the pages in order to get them online, CHAMPION OF KATARA and FELICIA are both going on a brief hiatus. (CHAMP has already been on hiatus for a couple of weeks.) I'm laboring to work up a new backlog of pages, and won't resume posting them until I have two months worth again. I'm hoping that CHAMP will resume the first week of July; FELICIA might take a little longer.
In fact, because it's getting colored, FELICIA just might run on a whole new schedule: I won't post pages until I can get an entire ten-page chapter finished. That would then run for about two and half months. Then, another break until the next chapter is finished. How long the intervening break between chapters will be, depends on how long it takes me to finish.
Not really the way I want to do this, but needs must.
(On the other hand, MR COW is entirely unaffected by this, pretty much because it's the quickest and easiest thing I do.)
But I wanted to reassure the four or five of you that were actually reading the stories that I haven't abandoned them and that they are still being worked on and that they will eventually return during the summer.
And thanks for having stuck with them this far; it's great to have folks interested.

I saw the note over on the Webcomicsnation page, but I'm glad to see it confirmed here. Whenever you've got more, I'll be there to read it!
